John, Great going on your Radio Rhema QSLs. Glad to see Dudley is still QSLing. Rhema/Southern Star have been good QSLers for years. They like DXers and enjoy the reports. In the 80s, the QSL count for TP/DU's really shot up. For a time of several years, the dial was especially full of DUs and 99%+ were excelent QSLers. Looking back, I think with Australia, New Zealand, and also Japan the return rate on the first report for 99%. I think only one or two I had to send a follow up and nearly all of those QSL'd on that one follow up. Move ahead 25 years, it is a different ballgame, unfortunately. For the record, many of my reports to asia last season have gone unanswered, epecially regional Chinese.
